Hello everyone! I hope you all will be absolutely fine and having fun. Today, I am going to combine all of my previous tutorials for LCD Interfacing with Microcontrollers, at a single platform for your easiness. You will able to see and learn the interfacing of LCD with three different microcontrollers. Before going into any detail I would like to tell you a bit about the history of LCD. There are a lot of devices in the market now a days, which can be used as the displaying devices. LCD's are also among those devices and considered as the one of the most important devices specially for the microcontroller based projects. The word LCD is basically abbreviated from Liquid Crystal Display because it is made up of Liquid Crystal Technology. LCD is a ...
Hi Guys! Hope you’re well. In this post today, we’ll cover What is IGBT? We’ll also discuss IGBT Full Form, Pinout, Meaning, Symbol & Working.BJT (bipolar junction transistor) and MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor) are commonly used electronic switches that we’ve already studied in detail. These devices are useful when you deal with low-current applications, however, when it comes to high-current applications, these devices don’t work as expected. This is where the IGBT transistor comes in handy. This device is a combination of both BJT and MOSFET and stands fit for high-current applications.
In this post, we’ll cover What is IGBT in detail.
Let’s get started:1. What is IGBT?
IGBT is a three-pin device made of semiconductor material and is used for fast- ...
Hello, Students here I am present to cover an article on a series of Electronic devices and circuit theory. The foremost article of this series is Ideal diode vs practical diode. I try to elaborate on basic to modern theory related to the diode. This component act as fundamental to many important circuit devices such as rectifiers, transformers, etc. The question which we cover in this article are;
What is a diode?
How a diode is formed? Which methodology manufacturer utilized while the formation of the diode?
What is the concept of doping and PN junction in diode theory?
How does a Diode work?
What type of biasing allows a diode to conduct? Under which situation of biasing diode offers a restriction while conducting?
Upon which cha ...
To understand this section, we must know a little history. The history of the development of printed circuits is not as old as that of the industrial revolution, around 1950 is when the first PCBs began to be commercialized, however, in the early 1900s it was when the first attempts at PCB designs emerged.
The human being had the need to have electrical equipment that had a reduced size, before this the search began to replace the complex and extensive cable connections with electronic components.
It was on March 2, 1925, that Charles Ducas first filed a patent that included creating an electrical path directly on an insulating surface.
Technology has advanced and electronics are not left behind, as can be seen in the previous image, the first pr ...
Rental property management is a potentially lucrative strategy – one that can supply you with a steady stream of passive income and, if you do things right, set you up for long-term accumulation of wealth.
But at the same time, the day-to-day process of managing properties can be a headache. You’ll be responsible for overseeing the property, responding to maintenance requests, collecting rent, and dealing with problematic tenants.
Is it worth designing an automation system to handle some of these tasks on your behalf? How much value do you stand to gain?
Why Automation Is So Valuable
Let's start by talking about some of the reasons why automation is so valuable.
Time savings:
Many property owners choose to hire a property manager
to take ca ...
Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing great. In today's article, I am going to show you How to Control Raspberry Pi 3 from Laptop or Computer. In our previous tutorial, we have seen How to setup 7 inch HDMI LCD with Raspberry Pi 3 and you must have noticed that designing your code on TFT LCD is quite difficult. So, either you have the LCD or not, its always better to work on your Laptop.
In order to control our raspberry Pi 3 from Laptop, we have to use VNC server & client. It's a third party tool designed by RealVNC. We have to install VNC server on the raspberry Pi and VNC viewer on our laptop & after that we can quite easily control our VNC Server from VNC Viewer (Client). So, let's get started with How to Control Raspberry Pi 3 from ...
Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing great. Today, I am going to share a detailed list of Mobile Apps for Engineers. Mobile apps are here not just to stay, but also to help you enhance your engineering career. If you are a practicing engineer or an engineering student, you need to optimize the power of mobile apps. To help you do this, here is our selected list of engineering apps that will help you work and manage your operations on the go.
I have tried to add the best Engineering Apps to this list, but if you have any Mobile App for Engineers in mind then do share them with us. And I will add it to this list. So, let's get started with Mobile Apps for Engineers:
1. Engineering Pro
This app is a great tool for memorizing or referencing your l ...
Hi Guys! Hope you’re well today. Happy to see you around. Today, I’ll walk you through the Introduction to IRF520.The IRF520 is an N-channel power MOSFET mainly used for switching and amplification purposes. It comes with a breakdown voltage of around 100V and a low gate threshold voltage is 4V, making it an ideal pick for microcontroller applications.
I suggest you read this post all the way through as I’ll detail the complete Introduction to IRF520 covering datasheet, pinout, features, and applications.
Let’s get started.
Introduction to IRF520 MOSFET
The IRF520 is an N-channel power MOSFET mainly used for switching and amplification purposes.
It comes with three terminals named: gate, source, and drain and is available in the TO-220 package.
It is important to note t ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. Today, I am going to show you Color Detection in MATLAB Live Video. In this project I am gonna take a live video feed from a camera and then will detect a specific color in that video feed. I have posted a project before in which I have done the same Color Detection in Images using MATLAB but that color detection was for images but in today's post I am gonna do the color detection in MATLAB for live video feed.
I have designed this project in MATLAB 2009 and have also tested it on MATLAB 2015 and it works fine. So, I think it will work on any version of MATLAB. You must have the image processing toolbox in your MATLAB. If you got any questions then ask in comments and I will t ...
Hello readers, I hope you all are enjoying our Raspberry Pi Pico programming series. In our previous tutorials, we learned how to access Raspberry Pi Pico’s GPIO pins for both input as well as output operations. For demonstration, we used LED as an output component and a push button as an input component.
Now let’s learn how to interface sensor modules with the Raspberry Pi Pico module. So, in this tutorial, we will learn how to interface the DHT11 sensor with the Raspberry Pi Pico module and fetch the observed data (from its surrounding) using the MicroPython programming language.
Before writing the code for interfacing and fetching the data from the respective sensor, let’s first have a look at the working operation, features and properties of the DHT sensor.
